My questions from Gail

1. Do you know how much God loves you?

It took me a while to discover this fact but yes, I now know just how much God loves me. My identity is totally steeped in God’s love and it’s in that place that I feel safe and secure. No matter what comes against me in life I know that God loves me and will never leave me.

I love your heart, Gail! My prayer would be for my community, (Huntington) that they would see God’s love for them in all that we do as a church and would eventually encounter God’s love for themselves.

4. What season is it now where you live?

It is winter here in the U.K. and it’s really cold. I’m currently tucked up in an extra fluffy pair of pyjamas with Llamas on them!

5. Do you have a favorite hymn?

I love ‘It is well’ and the story behind it. The guy lost his wife and daughters and yet still continued to praise the Lord. It reminds me a lot of the book of Job.

6. What are you holding in your hand right now?

I’m holding my iPhone as I’m typing this blogpost. I dropped it on the floor about two months ago and it has huge cracks all over it!

7. How would you define kindness?

Kindness is love in action. It’s showing God’s love to everyone through the things we do and the way we treat people.

8. Who inspires you?

Steffany Gretzinger from Bethel. I love how she is just completely undone before the Lord in worship. I also love the songs she writes. I find her very honest and vulnerable.

9. Who did you last text?

My pastor Steve. His daughter is unwell and he asked if I would open up the church for café in the morning. To which I replied, yes no problem at all. Sorry to hear she’s not well.

10. How do you find your happiness?

Lots of things make me happy: my family and friends but mostly I love to worship Jesus in my alone time, to study the word and write about what God teaches me.

11. Do you know how much God loves you? (It’s worth repeating!)

Haha! 😂 This is so you, Gail. Love it! I do indeedy!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, and for allowing me to continue to share with others!

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions and sharing your heart Gail. I checked out some images from the blue ridge parkway and it looks breathtaking. How awesome that you live right by this! ❤️

PTL! God is so kind to give me such a place to drive as a shortcut to just about everywhere I usually have to go, and exceptionally generous on the days I either get to walk with Him or just sit with Him alone! The pictures from My 50 Walks have been from there! 🙂
God loves you, Hayley!

Congrats on the award! I just discovered your blog from Gail’s Liebster award. Sorry you’re in the grey, cold UK too, it’s pretty miserable at the moment. Where’d you get your fluffy llama jammies from? I could do with some of those! 🙂
